Figure 7: NEO-M8M module design with passive antenna, external LNA and SAW filter
The
VCC_RF
output can be used to supply the LNA with a filtered supply voltage.
☞
An external LNA is only required if the antenna is far away. In that case, the LNA must be placed
close to the passive antenna.
Figure 8: NEO-M8N/J/T/Q and NEO-8Q module design with passive antenna and an external LNA
The
LNA_EN
pin (LNA enable) can be used to turn on and off an optional external LNA.
The
VCC_RF
output can be used to supply the LNA with a filtered supply voltage.
☞
A standard GNSS LNA has enough bandwidth to amplify GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou signals.

An external LNA is only required if the antenna is far away. In that case the LNA must be placed
close to the passive antenna.
